“We’re just concerned about the mask requirement across the board, even in the workplace, because we feel that businesses can take other measures to protect their workforce and not necessarily make them wear a mask," Doerhel said.

When DeWine had first suggested the requirement that customers wear masks, businesses pushed back, saying they didn’t want to have to enforce the state’s mandate.

But for those who aren’t working, there are concerns about how they’ll be paid.

Ohio had to borrow $3.3 billion from the federal government after its unemployment compensation fund went broke in 2009 – which also happened to 34 other states during the Great Recession. That debt was paid off in 2016. The fund started the year with $1.3 billion, and will run out of money next month.

Doehrel said the state will have to go to the feds for a loan with interest – again: "That’s what we’re going to have to do is borrow money, unfortunately, because of the problems that that raises.”
